EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Pallis, the wood-carrier" takes us back to the colonial era in South Asia. Created between 1827-35 by M. E. Burnouf, this colour lithograph showcases a scene from L'Inde Francaise, a renowned publication of that time. In this illustration, we witness Pallis, a male wood-carrier dressed in traditional attire, navigating through an enchanting landscape laden with branches and foliage. The artist skillfully captures the essence of Orientalism and travel prevalent during this period. The image portrays Pallis burdened with his task as he drags a basket filled with wood on his journey. The vibrant saris worn by women nearby add an exquisite touch to the composition while reflecting Indian culture and fashion. As we delve into this visual narrative, it becomes evident that every element within the frame has been meticulously crafted to transport us to another time and place. Through its intricate details and rich colors, this artwork provides us with a glimpse into French colonial India. Preserved within private collections today, this piece serves as a reminder of our historical past and offers insight into the lives of individuals who played crucial roles in sustaining their communities during those times.
